Riverwalk RV Park

17 RV Sites

Riverwalk RV Park in Fortuna, California, offers 18 full-hookup pull-through RV sites alongside the Eel River, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 65 feet. Every site is pull-through, with an outdoor pool, spa, clubhouse, and recreation center at the southern gateway to Humboldt County's redwood coast. Eighteen pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and high-speed internet, sized to 65 feet. Every site pulling through means no backing after a long drive up US-101 and no unhitching for an overnight. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool and spa anchor the property, with a clubhouse, recreation center, billiards, ping pong, and horseshoes covering indoor and social hours. Walking trails run along the river with fishing, hiking, and swimming from the area, and a playground serves families. Fortuna sits at the southern gateway to the California Redwood Coast, and the corridor north is the reason to stay. Ancient coastal redwood forest, wild Pacific coastline, and Victorian-era fishing communities extend from here through the heart of Humboldt County — one of the most remarkable natural landscapes in the American West, and one that rewards more than a single day. The park serves both US-101 through-travelers and guests basing themselves for the redwoods. Summer is the peak, with the coast staying mild and the parks busy from June through September. With 18 sites, reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

58 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Giant Redwoods RV and Cabin Destination in Myers Flat, CA, offers 58 RV sites and 5 cabins, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 110 feet.

Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. The park is rated big rig friendly, and at 110 feet it will take rigs that almost nothing else on the Avenue of the Giants can. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and a dump station cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a playground. Horseshoes, volleyball, fishing, and 23 acres of riverfront fill the grounds. Myers Flat sits on the Avenue of the Giants, surrounded on all sides by the ancient coast redwoods of Humboldt Redwoods State Park. Rates by site category are on the booking page. River view sites book first, and big rig travelers should reserve early — capacity like this is scarce here.

Coastal Pines RV Resort

59 RV Sites

Coastal Pines RV Resort in Eureka, CA, offers 59 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 90 feet. Sites come in three categories — back-in, pull-thru, and premium pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. At 90 feet the pull-thrus take the longest coaches, which is a genuine advantage on the redwood coast where most parks were built for smaller rigs. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a general store cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. Creek frontage, walking trails, swimming, and picnicking fill the grounds, with wine tasting nearby. Eureka is the redwood coast's principal city on Humboldt Bay, with Old Town's Victorian architecture, the working harbor, the Eureka Boardwalk, Sequoia Park Zoo, and Redwood National Park all within a short radius. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Premium pull-thrus and the summer redwood season book first.

The Retreat at Redwood Shores

71 RV Sites, 13 Cabins, 17 Tent Sites

The Retreat at Redwood Shores in Eureka, California, offers 71 RV sites, three cabins, and 10 tent sites across 10 acres on Humboldt Bay, with 30 and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 72 feet. Premium, pull-through, back-in, and standard categories join a dry camping tier, with an outdoor pool, mini-golf, and dog park. Seventy-one sites span back-in, standard, premium, pull-thru, and dry camping categories, carrying water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 72 feet. Two things to plan around: the sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity accordingly, and the dry camping tier gives self-contained rigs a lower rate. Seventy-two feet is generous for the North Coast. Three cabins and 10 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with mini-golf, bocce ball, a playground, dog park, swimming, picnicking, and planned activities filling the grounds. Pets are welcome. Eureka sits where the Humboldt Bay estuary meets the southern edge of the coastal redwood ecosystem — the tallest trees on earth, in the only place they grow. The Avenue of the Giants runs south and Redwood National and State Parks north, which puts the two great redwood drives within reach of a single basecamp. Old Town Eureka's Victorian architecture, the Sequoia Park Zoo and garden, the Humboldt Botanical Garden, Fort Humboldt, and Madaket harbor cruises are all close. Summer is peak on the Redwood Coast, when the fog lifts and the parks fill. Reserve well ahead for July through September.

Mad River Rapids RV Park

12 RV Sites

Mad River Rapids RV Park in Arcata, California, offers 12 full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet, open year-round on the Mad River's coastal terrace in Humboldt County. A game room with billiards, ping pong, and an arcade, plus on-site dining and a general store, make this a full-service base on the Redwood Coast. Twelve pull-through sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 70 feet, with picnic tables. The pull-through configuration and big-rig-friendly layout suit large coaches, though note the 30-amp service if you run high-draw appliances. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side, and WiFi reaches the sites. If you provide a mobile number when booking, you may receive up to two text notifications a week; reply STOP to opt out. On-site recreation covers the region's rainy stretches well. A recreation center and game room hold billiards, ping pong, an arcade, and basketball, with on-site dining for meals and a playground for families. The Mad River runs alongside the property, with boating, a golf course, a casino, and wine and beer tasting all nearby. Pets are welcome. Arcata sits about 280 miles north of San Francisco near the junction of the Mad River and Humboldt Bay, where the world's tallest trees meet wild Pacific beaches. The university city has built a distinctive identity around ecological values and independent commerce, and serves both US-101 travelers and visitors drawn to the redwood forests. The park operates year-round, which matters on a coast where many properties close. Summer redwood traffic is the peak — reserve ahead for July and August.

Camp Trinidad RV Resort

44 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

Camp Trinidad RV Resort in California offers 44 full-hookup RV sites and four cabins on the Humboldt County North Coast, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Horizon Ocean View, Ocean View, corner sites with a deck, and oversized 50-amp categories join a spa, general store, community fire pit, and dog park. Forty-four sites span corner with deck, Horizon Ocean View, Horizon Ocean View pull-in, Ocean View, and oversized 50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Three of five categories carry an ocean view, which tells you what the property is built around, and the corner sites come with a private deck. Four cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A spa anchors the property, with a community fire pit, dog park, and hiking filling the rest. The surrounding forest gives the grounds their character. Pets are welcome. The resort has been a North Coast destination for more than 40 years under local ownership, and the setting explains why. Trinidad Head's sea stacks, the harbor's small fishing fleet, Patrick's Point and Sue-meg State Park's rugged bluffs, and the redwood parks north and south make this one of the most naturally spectacular and ecologically intact stretches of the California coast. Summer is peak on the far North Coast, when the fog lifts and the redwood parks fill. Reserve well ahead for July through September, with gray whale migration drawing spring and winter interest.

Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe

14 RV Sites, 8 Cottages, 1 Yurt

Strawhouse Resorts and Cafe in Junction City, CA, offers 14 full-hookup RV sites, 8 cottages, and 1 yurt, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 52 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30/50-amp and pull-in 30/50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with WiFi across the property. The on-site cafe is part of the appeal — this is a resort with a kitchen, not a campground with a vending machine. A recreation center, walking trails, and a dog park round it out, and the property doubles as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. The Trinity River runs along the resort, and that's the draw: fishing, kayaking, hiking, birding, horseshoes, and planned activities, with the river running cold and clear out of the Trinity Alps. Junction City sits in Trinity County, one of California's most remote and most scenically dramatic inland counties, well off the interstate grid. Rates for sites, cottages, and the yurt are on the booking page. Summer river season and fall steelhead runs book earliest.

Mendocino Magic

Mendocino Magic in Laytonville, California, is a multi-format camping destination in inland Mendocino County offering RV sites, glamping setups, and traditional tent camping — a versatile outdoor accommodation property in the US-101 corridor of the North Coast Range where the Eel River's wild and scenic stream country, the Cahto Wilderness, and the drive to the Mendocino Coast's redwood groves, sea stacks, and art galleries give guests the most complete North Coast camping experience available from a campground positioned between the redwood coast and the inland mountain valley. Laytonville's Mendocino County position on US-101, 45 miles east of the Mendocino coast and 50 miles south of Humboldt Redwoods State Park, gives the campground the specific North Coast corridor character of a property at the intersection of the coast road's scenic tourism appeal and the inland mountain valley's quieter outdoor recreation character. RV sites, glamping setups, and traditional tent camping give Mendocino Magic the complete spectrum of overnight outdoor accommodation in a single Laytonville property — the glamping format specifically gives the comfort-seeking non-camper the curated outdoor accommodation experience that the Mendocino County inland mountain setting sustains without the tent camping infrastructure logistics, and the RV site gives the self-contained traveler the hookup service for the North Coast leg of the US-101 coastal tour. The campground's multi-format accommodation reflects the specific Mendocino County market of the coastal artisan and agricultural heritage tourism that the North Coast's unique culture sustains. Pets are welcome. Humboldt Redwoods State Park, 50 miles north of Laytonville on US-101 in Humboldt County, protects the largest remaining contiguous old-growth coast redwood forest in the world — 17,000 acres of ancient Sequoia sempervirens forest in the Eel River's Bull Creek drainage where the Avenue of the Giants 32-mile scenic alternate to US-101 passes through the Rockefeller Forest's 10,000-acre old-growth stand, the world's largest preserved ancient redwood grove, in a grove of trees that include the confirmed tallest individual specimens in the forest. The coast redwood's maximum height of 380 feet and the 2,000-year age class of the Bull Creek drainage's oldest trees give the Humboldt Redwoods the specific scale and antiquity that no other temperate forest in the Northern Hemisphere matches. The Mendocino Coast, 45 miles west of Laytonville via CA-162 and CA-1 at Fort Bragg, provides the dramatic sea stack and headland coastline of the Mendocino Headlands State Park, the Mendocino village's Victorian architecture and artist colony character, and the Noyo Harbor's working fishing fleet and salmon charter boat operation that give the Fort Bragg-Mendocino corridor its specific combination of natural coastal scenery and North Coast cultural heritage. The MacKerricher State Park's 10 miles of beach north of Fort Bragg and the Glass Beach's sea-polished glass deposits give the Mendocino coastal day trip its accessible natural and geological attractions. Mendocino Magic serves guests through Mendocino County's North Coast camping season, with the spring whale migration from February through April giving the coastal viewpoints their spectacular gray whale observation and the summer fog season from June through August creating the coastal marine layer conditions that the inland Laytonville valley's warmer, clearer summer temperatures specifically complement for the guest who values the inland camp over the often-foggy coast campground in the summer. The Cahto Wilderness in the Mendocino National Forest gives the campground's immediate backcountry hiking access in the Laytonville area's inland mountain terrain. Reserve sites and glamping accommodations ahead for the summer US-101 coastal tourism season and the fall harvest season in Mendocino County's wine and apple country.

Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. A recreation center with billiards, boat docks, and river and lake access fill the property, with boating on the Klamath and a state park close by. The resort sits on US Highway 101 in Del Norte County, framed by coast redwoods where the Klamath River meets the Pacific — one of the most scenically distinctive corners of Northern California and a prime spot for salmon runs and elk sightings. Rates for sites, cabins, and tent spots are on the booking page. Redwood season and the fall salmon run are the busiest stretches — reserve ahead.

Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, propane exchange, and a dump station cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park on site.

Creek frontage, walking trails, and hiking round it out. Willits sits just off US-101 in Mendocino County, at the junction of the redwood country and the road west toward the Mendocino Coast.

A working marina with boat docks, a beach, and walking trails fill the property, with fishing, boating, swimming, and biking.

The resort sits ten minutes east of Crescent City on Highway 199 in Hiouchi, immediately next to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park — the most intact old-growth redwood grove in the state park system, in a forest that was never logged, on the jade-green Smith River.
